It's our first ever LIVE podcast, recorded at BGG.con
2013! Our guest Eric Summerer from The Dice Tower joins us as we play Saved By
the Bell from 1992, a pick-up-and-deliver game where players earn points by
hanging out with the gang from Bayside and going on a date with both Zack AND
Slater! Race around the school while avoiding detention and asking your friends
uncomfortable questions about their classmates. Enjoy 54 unique(ish) images of
the Bayside gang and collect your favorite ones to score valuable points. Over
2 decades later, did this game hold up as well as its namesake television
program? Plus, a Battle of Wits you won't want to miss!

BONUS CONTEST! In
honor of BoardGameGeek, we're having a special contest on our BGG forums! Post
a comment on our official discussion thread for this episode for your chance to
win a super-secret prize! Limit one
entry per listener, but post as many comments as you like! The deadline for

Muppetational stylings of Kermit, Fozzy, Miss Piggy, and the whole gang, and
thrusts them into a madcap world of clinical, tactical movement. Which Muppets
will reach the footlights and take their place on the big stage? How in the
world does the mysterious Double Spinner factor in? What do Statler and Waldorf
have to say about all this? Download now to find out!
